Ideal Buffer Tank 50L
Ideal Buffer Tank 50L
The Ideal Buffer Tank 50L is a buffer tank. Compatible with the Ideal Logic Air and HP290 heat pump ranges.
A heat pump needs a minimum volume of water permanently open to it. It uses that volume to reverse the cycle and defrost the outdoor coil, and it needs it to keep modulating smoothly rather than short cycling when zone valves close. Radiators behind thermostatic valves and underfloor loops behind actuators do not count towards it, which is why most systems need a buffer added.
